Every year we paddle Lac le Jeune.   The far shore is quiet and forested.  There is an extensive marsh in the northeast corner which can be partly paddled.  Blackbirds nest there in the spring and the air is alive with their calls.   There are water lilies at the far east corner which bloom in July.    Loons fish the lake and call at dusk.    Paddlers can duck and travel through the tunnel under the road into the smaller lake which is open water for half and long channels into the marshes for the rest.   Bring a camera with a long lens to capture migrating birds in the reeds.    Lac le Jeune should be paddled in 3 seasons, then skied in the fourth.
